For the second summer in a row, we are sticking around Boulder longer than planned. We orginally thought to be leaving about now, but have decided to stick around until at least the middle of October and maybe longer. Last year, we stayed because I was on crutches. This year, several things influenced this decision. [...]

We spent the last few weeks in a private RV park in Pompano Beach, FL. My first clue that something was different was when I was called “Madame” while checking in… as in the french Monsieur et Madame. As soon as we were set up, the RV’er behind us asked if we spoke French. What? [...]

Looe Key

Key Largo calls itself the “Dive Capital of the World”. I haven’t been able to find out why. To me, the phrase “Dive Capital of the World” would mean outstanding diving, but I don’t think that is how the tourism industry means it. When you look at the top ten reasons the tourism [...]

We are now camped in John Pennekamp State Park in Key Largo. Pennekamp is known for it’s coral reefs. So far, we We have done two dives and the diving is much better than the lower keys. There is more coral and fish. We plan on diving more later in the week. We have also [...]
